And people wonder why there are so few women on Lemmy. Making a joke out of a complaint of sexism is pretty disrespectful.

Yeah that’s an extreme oversimplification. For some trans people it’s not an option to ‘not bring up their transness’ because it’s about their identity and spending any time with someone who refuse to recognise that can be very a very dysphoric experience. Also in this case it’s about op’s parents. Is it really that hard to understand that op might want their own parents to recognise their identity?

Giving someone advice on a topic you are ignorant about can be harmful, so maybe don’t do that.

I thought we moved on from these gross objectification jokes.

It was absolutely a normal thing to mention trans visibility day and you deserve to be seen by family too! I don’t think the person you’re replying to has much experience in being trans and navigating family so don’t take their response too seriously.

Idk about the origin of the meme but I can confirm that I know several Polish femboys through European gaming discord servers

That’s kinda shitty on your end

Nah

Also even in the case of beings with shapeshifting powers, genitalia are irrelevant to gender identity.

Yes, and that’s a trope that’s often used to invalidate the experiences of non binary people. We live in a society where gender does matter a lot and telling someone to stop caring about their own gender because it’s a social construct is transphobic. You can argue all you want about the meaning of gender, just don’t use it to invalidate nb or trans people, which is what the person I replied to was doing.

Nowhere in my comment am I referring to OP as trans. I assume you don’t know anything about the topic because you are sharing a trope that is often used to dismiss the experiences of non binary and bigender people. Bigender and non binary trans people do exist btw.

I appreciate the sentiment but why critical support though
